Exploring the remarkable natural and architectural landscape of Historic St. Mary’s City, this site-specific Halloween production travels a path from outdoors in the Town Center to inside the old State House. Along the way, we will draw on Shakespeare’s roots in medieval theater, on historical connections between colonial Maryland and early modern England, and on the power of all kinds of fear, then and now.
